In part 2 I've grouped together the cooler toned purples and blues out of my batch of goodies. All these shades have either a blue or sea green or purple base and most have a gorgeous duochrome shift.

A while back I hauled the Aussie indie makeup site Femme Fatal Cosmetics. Then life happened and the ridiculous amount of swatches I needed to do got put on the procrastination pile lol.

But I finally got the time to swatch these babies for you guys and give you my thoughts/first impressions. As this was a haul, I ended up buying 20 mini eyeshadows plus I received 6 samples, so I've broken this into 3 posts to get through them all!

In my search to widen my matte eyeshadow collection, I came across Stila's "in the Know" palette. I already have the "In the Garden" palette which I love so i thought what the hell? It also helps that I managed to pick it up on BeautyBay.com on sale =^_^=

It's here!! I first spied this palette back at the beginning of the year in the Backstage photos post on the RBR blog and spent the next few months waiting for it to emerge. As soon as it did, I snapped one up right away! Below are my first impressions / initial review. (p.s its pic heavy) 

My only haul this past Black Friday was one I had actually waited all year for - Sugarpill's.

Flamepoint palette, Sweetheart palette, Frostbitten trio, Atomic trio and Paperdoll

I missed the sale back in 2012 by a mere 48hrs (being here in Aussieland I didn't really take notice of Black Friday sales dates) and was sufficiently devastated >=( . However I swore 2013 was going to be my year! I only missed out on one item I wanted, Goldilux, which was top-of-the-want-list-worthy but as I was stuck at work waiting for the time difference to kick over I missed the first hour or so of the sale and by the time I hit "buy" on my already pre-filled shopping cart it was sold out.

Anyways, I've been holding out on posting as I wanted to do a super-uber-duper review of all my goodies in one phototastic post, but you' d all be waiting til November '14 at this rate LOL.

So here is a teaser photo of my newly(ish) acquired stash with a blogfelt promise to have lavish individual product reviews up very soon!
